If you have any questions, would like to schedule a tour, or want to receive updates from all over the world of pastry.

We take pride in the quality of our courses, which are offered with great attention to the art and the science of pastry. The classes focus on artistry, visual presentation, theory, method, and technique, giving you the knowledge required for a successful pastry career.

Our unique commitment to you is continuous attention to the development of your career, from the beginning of your time with us until long after you leave.

As an important part of your decision to attend, we welcome all of our prospective students to take a virtual tour of The French Pastry School or to make an appointment to see our facilities and meet our staff in person..

The French Pastry School is a very active part of the pastry community. Keep track of our latest projects, alumni news, and events through posts, blog entries, articles, and tweets. You can find it all here!

Our current students will guide you through the kitchens with their unique point of view: you’ll see our students and chefs in action, be introduced to cutting-edge pastry technology, and have a chance to admire beautiful chocolate showpieces and exquistely decorated cakes! After a reception of freshly baked treats and homemade jam, the chefs will show you how to make an assortment of classic French pastries: chocolate candies, madelines, tuiles, sorbet, and more! Of course, you’ll get to sample everything as it comes straight from the oven and take home the recipes to recreate in your own kitchen. You’ll have even more French Pastry School specialties to take home and share with your family and friends in our seasonal gift bag. The recipes at each event may vary.

We welcome you to see and taste everything that The French Pastry School has to offer!
